First Degree

This lawyer is her client’s last hope, and her town’s worst nightmare.

When a popular cheerleader winds up dead in a ditch, the case lands in defense attorney Cass Leary’s own backyard. Her niece’s boyfriend Cole is charged with first degree murder and the whole Leary family jumps to his defense. The evidence against him is as thin as the ice on Finn Lake. But an overzealous prosecutor and a rookie detective seem determined to see Cole go down for this no matter what.

Just as she’s about to crack the case, new evidence emerges that convinces Cass her client’s being framed. Cass’s dogged determination to defend him could upend the police department and ruin careers. But if she doesn’t uncover the truth, the real killer could strike again.

Can Cass bust open this conspiracy before another innocent girl dies?

First Degree is the seventh standalone book in a spine-tingling series of legal thrillers. If you like compelling courtroom dramas, strong female characters, and mind-bending plot twists, then you’ll love Robin James’s page-turning story.
